Poor Mr.. William Reed.

Some of our readers of this place
and in this County, will remember
Mr.. VIM Reed of near Pittsburg, the
oil operator, who some six or eight
years ago had various enterprises in
the county, particularly near this
place in Butler Tp, and finally near
to what now is known as the Reibold
field. He was generally unsuccess-
fui in all his enterprises here and left
considerably the loser. In October
last it seems be went to the Atlantic
Ocean, for some purpose, and while
alone on the sea in small boat, was
drowned, or at least meyer heard OF
until now.

The Mercer Dispatch Republican
Of last week has timely article on
the effort being made to change the
mode Of nominating Congressmen in
this district. 1t inclines to favor the
plan of electiDg delegates, which,
coming from the stronger county OF
the dist let. we regard as very fair on
tie part of that county. 1t suggests
however that the delegates, in pro.
portion to vote of each county at the
latest Presidential election, might be
elected by the County Conventions
of each, instead of by the people.
Better it would be, we think, to elect
them by the Republican voters Of the
counties. But the urgent matter now
is for speedy meeting of the Com
mittees ofthe different Counties, as
until this matter Is determined it can
not be known in what manner dele
gates to the National Convention are
to be chosen. The one has to be
chosen in the came manner the other
is. We have referred to this 10 an
other place.

Not Boycottlng Western Roads.

PITTsEURG, PA, April 5.-Chief As
sistant General Passenger Agent +. Van
dusen, of the Pennsylvania Company,
stated to-day that the impression that the
eastern traffic association had bOycotted
western railroads was erroneous.
Such talk, =" said he, sis nonsense. The
lines over which through tickets are not
being sold are simply waiting for the adj
vice Of their counsel.
"Our company has already the consent
to sell through tickets over large mum
Der of connecting roads.
in instances where the sale of through
tickets has been withdrawn, it is merely
temporarily. The tickets will be rein
stated as soon as legal advice is given to
have us act as agents of each of the differ
ent roads. We have received authority
from several additional western roads this
morning. Circulars will be issued to-day
to sell through tickets over such lines.
The lines giving such authority to the
Pennsylvania Company include the Chi
cago and Northwestern, the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul, the Chicago, Bur.
lingtOn and Quincy and the Union Pacific
railroad.
